I heard Paul Harvey advertise this heater on his news program. I looked at
this heater on the web
( www.biotechresearch.com/epure_heater.php )and it sounded impressive. They
have a heater that is supposed to heat a 1000 square feet and costs $397
with free shipping. It is supposed to be completely safe around kids and
pets and cut energy costs significantly. Do any of you have any information
or advice/opinion about this heater? I am always leery of a product that I
cannot see and touch in a store. Mail order sight unseen causes me some
concern. Thanks for your help.

"Cut energy costs significantly"? Don't believe that either, because
it's
demonstrably untrue. Resistive electrical heating is pretty universally
the
most expensive (in lots of ways) means of heating. Unless you've lots
of cheap hydro or wind power, and gas/oil/coal/wood are out of the
calculus.

Much 'mo betta is reducing losses. Conservation of resources.

Consider also that electrical space heaters really beat on wiring
connections,
because of sustained large current draw. IOW, fire hazard.
